Graveyard175 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom The Graveyard in Lifford is tucked beside a church that’s had a few makeovers, with foundations laid back in 1622. It looks late 18th century now, but it’s been standing guard for centuries. It’s a quiet spot to ponder how much has changed over four hundred years.
Saint Lugadius's Church (Clonleigh)Church/chapel · 188 ydExplorer Tom Saint Lugadius's Church (Clonleigh) has Sir Richard Hansard Kt. and his wife Dame Ann (c. 1622) kneeling in stone! I bet they are holding a very stiff pose because the sculptor said, "Don't move or you'll be stuck forever!"
Clonleigh Parish HallChurch hall/parish hall · 228 ydExplorer Tom Clonleigh Parish Hall in Lifford is a mid-to-late nineteenth-century Church of Ireland gem with detailed ashlar surrounds and curious stone pots on the chimneys. It’s got that satisfying slate roof patina too. Can you spot those funny stone pots? Tell me!
Fortification in LiffordFortification · 232 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fortification in Lifford was once a 'good and strong fort' with a drawbridge, but now there’s literally nothing left to see. It’s just a spot where Pynnar wrote about bulwarks and a prison in 1611, which is great for your imagination. You can stand on the river bank and pretend to be Sir Richard Hansard, if you’re feeling brave.
McCauley's RestaurantRestaurant · 503 ydExplorer Tom McCauley's Restaurant serves fish and chips that are likely swimming in batter. If the fish looks suspiciously like a rock, don't worry, it's probably just very well-seasoned stone from the Atlantic Ocean.

I bet a battle site: battle of the fords, central crossing, 1689 with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
